Hi everyone,

I'm trying very very hard to not modify the core Nutch code, and build
everything as plug-ins. Kudos to Doug, Mike, and everyone else for
building a system that's so easily extended. I haven't had to make any
core changes except on one occasion, involving the page score thread
discussion we had a while back.

So one thing I want to do is that when a page is linked, but is
blocked by a robots.txt, I want it to index the link to the page but
not the actual text itself. Google does this - it just shows as an
entry:

  foo.blah.com/
  Similar pages 

Right now in Nutch, the default behavior is that a
ResourceGoneException is thrown in Http.java, and these links don't
get indexed.

I can hack around this by making modifications to the http-protocol
plug-in, that fakes an HttpResponse that's empty, so that it indexes.
There's probably a cleaner way by modifying the core code.

Is there a better way and/or would this a simple change one of the
devs working on the next version of Nutch might incorporate?

Andrew
